Ruth was absolutely brilliant! Such a lovely lady and so very helpful! Any questions were answered and she made us feel very welcome! The place itself was a basement flat under their house with separate entrance which was very nice in the hot weather because it stays cool down their. Fairly big and everything you need apart from cooking facilities. We stayed here for Ascona Jazz festival and it was perfect. about 15 minutes walk to the lakefront! Definitely would recommend and we hope to be back here again!

Marianne was a very, very nice host! She was flexible with our arrival time, even though we kept on changing it due to unforeseen circumstances. She was extremely responsive and the flat was exactly as shown in the pictures. She went out of her way to manage the little details here and there that we found. I would totally recommend being hosted by Marianne.

Marianne was a really great host! She was very responsive to answer all our questions before our arrival and during our stay. The house is exactly like on the photos: it's actually more beautiful in reality: modern, clean. It had no washer, although it is listed. The garden and terrasse is really nice with a beautiful view on the lake! It's better to have a car as the location is outside city, which means it's really quite :) Overall we had a great time !! We'll definitely contact you again, Marianne, next time we go to Locarno.

Villa Marenca is a beautiful summer residence located at the shore of Lago Maggiore, 15 walking minutes from the centre of Ascona. You will enjoy the private access to the lake as well as the many separate inside and outside areas where you can gather with your friends or be all by yourself.
The main house has two bedrooms, two separate bathrooms, a kitchen and a dining room. The large library is attached to the main house. In the stone you will find a romantic room with balcony and toilet.

Villa Marenca was built as a summer residence directly on the shore of Lago Maggiore in the 1940ies. Over the years, new spaces have been added in the same style with white walls and stone cladding.
Two cars can be stationed on the private park deck along the cantonal road. From there you will descend to the house a few meters below.
The house offers ample space for guests, both inside and outside. The panorama over the lake and the mountains is breathtaking.
Even the kitchen is more than just a great workspace as it offers wonderful views over the Ascona Bay.
You will love to dine outside to make most of a sunny day. A gas grill is at your disposal.
Inside you will find antique and modern furniture.
The dining room has a large table and a lounge area with a fire place.
The bedrooms all have king-size box spring beds.
Two of the bedrooms are in the main building on the first floor, where you will also find the two bathrooms. There is one extra toilet at the entrance.
The third bedroom is in the separate Stone House, a romantic setting with a balcony and its own toilet.
The large library lends itself for reading, playing games or even working. There is an outside, covered lounge area in front of the library if you prefer the outdoors.
To get to the lake you will climb down an impressive granite staircase with granite cladded walls. As in other areas of the house, there you can chose between open and covered areas.

As soon as you catch a glimpse of the Ascona lakefront, the fishing landscape and the colourful lakeside houses, which imbue the scenery with a Mediterranean character, will impress you. It is the ideal location for relaxation, taking walks and enjoying the splendid sunset on the lake.
Ascona is an ancient village, rich with memories of its medieval and Renaissance history. The traces left by the many artists who lived in the village are tangible in the narrow alleys that lead to piazza G. Motta on the lakefront. But not only! Its cultural tradition also leads us away from the historical center, up the Ascona hill, into the heart of nature. Monte Verità: this is the name that was given to this magical place settled by people who, in search of tranquility, created a veritable spiritual refuge. A settlement that later attracted internationally renowned revolutionaries, philosophers, writers, poets and artists.
The village’s privileged position and mild climate make it the perfect setting for the successful cultural events that take place, mainly, in the summer season. JazzAscona, one of the most renowned international jazz festivals, annually attracts thousands of fans, making it Ascona’s highlight event. Local markets, shopping, gastronomy, and street artists are great alternatives for both children and adults.

We spent a wonderful time in the villa. The house is much more impressive than it looks on the pictures and greatly equiped. All rooms are spacious with gorgeous view on the lake and the mountains. Swimming in the lake was very enjoyable and refreshing. Our favorite was taking a fine glass of wine on the terrace in the evening followed by a nice BBQ. The hosts answered all questions promptly. Suzanne welcomed us on site and gave good recommendations. The place is perfect as departure point for many daytrips. We even went to the famous Film Festival of Locarno, which takes less than 30 minutes by car. The old town of Ascona can be reached easily by foot. There are several well provided supermarkets in the neighborhood and Italian weekly markets are not far away (Cannobio, Luino). A car is recommended. Thank you Franziska, we will gladly come back.

We appreciated the easy and prompt booking procedure and Franziska’s friendly hospitality. Everything was perfect as expected. We have spent a lovely time in this beautiful, comfortable, and spacious house, enjoying the many outdoor sitting places. We specially loved swimming in the lake early morning and dining on the terrace with the wonderful view.
